London Architecture; Features and Facades

The buildings of London are its glory and its character. Matthew Weinreb, a native Londoner and prize-winning architectural photographer, has devoted much of his career to chronicling the architecture of the city, capturing the often unnoticed details and ornaments that grace its facades. His father, Ben Weinreb, co-author of The Encyclopaedia of London, explores in a series of essays the unique character of the city through its diverse architectural features and materials, making this a memorable portrait of one of the world's great cities.
